(John 15:16) "You did not choose me, no, I chose you; and I commissioned you to go out and to bear fruit, fruit that will last; so that the Father will give you anything you ask him in my name."(The New Jerusalem Bible (New York: Doubleday, 1985)
By what name do you call yourself? If it is Christian then understand that this is a true fact. In whatever means you are capable you will follow Christ our Lord and bring our father to those around you. At the very least your life should be an example of christian faith. I write this blog in faith because of this calling. You may be called in another way to show the reality of Christ in your life. I can assure you that even doing all you can to be an example of Christ in how you conduct yourself in the simplest things that it will be noticed. I am not trained as a preacher, minister or teacher of the word but I believe in our savior and want others to know Him as I know Him. He is the mirror of His , and our, Father in heaven. He is our saving grace through our father in heaven. He called us. He chose us to be brothers and sisters of His. He is present eternally to those who answer the calling. The way in which we live is a light unto the place we live as well as to the world. That light started with the apostles and grew until the world took note. The world is still taking note. Be a true Christian in how you live and conduct yourself. The world needs Christian love. Answer the call.
This week another Moontear image. This is one of DW's favorite images. I like the eyes on this one and the blouse/vest. I gave the eyes a light eye shadow for some accent.
The Copic colors used are;
The pen in the upper left is Marvy Gold.
Those images are so life-like and your coloring is gorgeous. I, too, love her eyes and dress. The shading around the eyes is so pretty.
